The Dark Heart of Russia : A Journey Through Putin's Empire of Brutality. by Fink, Jonathan.;
When Jonathan Fink studied Russian in university, he developed a passion for the country that seemed under Boris Yeltsin to throw off the shackles of repression. Thirty years later, he set out to uncover through interviews the real heart of Russia, a country besieged by unfathomable terrorism and deep-seated paranoia and where crime is scarcely ever met with punishment. 'The Dark Heart of Russia' shows that there is a need to look at the Kremlin's deeds and ignore their words as a rule to get to the truth. Contributors include Bill Browder, David Petraeus, and Luke Harding.Library Bound Incorporated

Soldiers : great stories of war and peace / by Hastings, Max,compiler,editor,writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.A collection of the most extraordinary stories of war, courage, tragedy, strategy and survival. Soldiers is a collection of the very best stories about soldiers, brought together by historian Max Hastings. In his almost sixty years of military study and his work in the midst of modern conflicts as a foreign correspondent, these are the stories that left a mark. In these pages you will find heroes and cowards; triumphs, tragedies and comedies. It illustrates, mostly through people's own words, what it's been like to fight in wars, to live and die as a warrior, from Greek and Roman times through to today's Iraq and Afghanistan. The characters include the Black Prince and Cromwell, Wellington at Waterloo, Siegfried Sassoon at the Somme, George Orwell in the Spanish Civil War and Evelyn Waugh as a commando. But there are also Americans, Frenchmen, Israelis, Russians, not to mention the women warriors of Dahomey, Queen Boudicca and the women who serve today in the US Marines. There are more than 300 stories in all, and an astounding variety of soldiers' experiences through the ages. Many have been responsible for wonderful achievements but a few, also, for dreadful crimes. Some relate horrors, while others tell terrific jokes. In modern writing, we hear from the titans of historical writing with Ben Macintyre and Anthony Beevor. This is a book that might make you feel as grateful that whatever the troubles of our own times, we are spared the mud and blood and anguish, if also the moments of glory, that the soldiers in these pages bring so vividly to life.
